Adding 3.0 USB PCI to my computer

OFL created the topic: Adding 3.0 USB PCI to my computer

Calling all your computer techies , I want to add a USB 3.0 PCI port to my computer so that I have a couple of extra places to plug in high-speed devices . The computer I want to put them on is a AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.90. It is not particularly old, probably four years I would think. Can I assume that a modern PCI card would be perfectly okay to install?

Thanks mate, how do I find out if I have the correct interface? I suppose I should get the computer out and then open it up and check before ordering anything?
